FEDE Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Hello Friends I'm working hard on the F-15C Eagle by Revell / Monogram. The kit is not easy, the groove is very bad everywhere. The plane that I plan to make the F-15C-22-MC Eagle 78-0522. This aircraft was assigned to Lieutenant Commander Rob Greater, Commander of 67th Fighter Squadron at Kadena, Japan in June 1997. I will use Eagles Kadena F-15C / D decals. Some photos. Cockpit. Some Scratch Painted cokpit and resin Aces II seat. blue green metalic, sh....t, a mix of Humbrol 50 metallic green and Humbrol 23 blue duck egg. Cutting the control surfaces Landing Gears. Some of weathering and ready. Detail in the Exhaust Tail´s Lights Before paste the fuselage. After paste, some puting and sanding. Flaps down .

Wayne S Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Looking good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) really nice work! the area behind the cockpit, Bay 5, is most likely (probably) white, not blue/green, and the wheels should the C/D style Edited January 8, 2010 by Ken Middleton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishwelding Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 This is awesome. I like seeing this this kit built up right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Moore Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 This is awesome. I like seeing this this kit built up right. I agree. Anyone who can take an older Monogram kit like this and turn it into a jewel rates high in my book. I can't wait to see the end result. Cheers, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FEDE Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Uncle, Wayne S, Ken, and Albert Fishwelding thank everyone for comment. Uncle the package with the missiles and the tanks never arrived. ;) "Uncle el paquetito con los misiles y los tanques nunca llego, malditos bastardos del correo.." really nice work!the area behind the cockpit, Bay 5, is most likely (probably) white, not blue/green, and the wheels should the C/D style Ken, I'm no super expert of the Eagles, but I read that the planes after 1980 were white in the Bay 5, in this case their number is 78-0522, should not be green? Well maybe with the passage of time they were repainted. The wheels in this kit are wrong is true, but I do not have the correct. More progress soon Thanks to All!!!

Gustavo Rocha Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi Federico!! Your Eagle is looking great!! Now tell me something: does this kit have lowered or raised detail? I thought that Monogram's Eagles had raised panel lines... Keep up the good work!! Cheers, Gustavo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well maybe with the passage of time they were repainted.More progress soon Thanks to All!!! FEDE That might be a question for Murph. This is going back a few years, maybe 8 years, If My brain is right, Murph had a friend at Kadena and I think their jets had white bays, for the time line your looking at. Of course this is all going off speculation that my brain knows what it is thinking about LOL. Asking Murph would be the best bet, It must of been him, I heard something from, because I don't know anyone from Kadena that I can recall of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 yeah, I am not 100% sure it would be white, but I am leaning towards it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kurnass77 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 FEDE, your Eagle looking very nice! :) What you used to detail the exhaust? I have done similar work on the exhaust of my RF-4C in 1 / 72 using aluminum foil of a cigarette packet and plasticard. [/url][/img] [/url][/img] Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
